Lake District

A visit to High Lickbarrow Farm will be like no National Trust place you have ever experienced before. With the place exclusively yours, we invite you to make yourselves at home and become immersed in the Bottomley family’s Lakeland way of life.

Himalayan Balsam, Rhododendron and Japanese Knotweed – they’re familiar sights, but actually, in the wrong place, they’re becoming a real problem across the Lake District. These are just some of the non-native plants here, or 'alien invasions' as we call them. In 2016, our Rangers and volunteers spent over 300 days tackling them - that’s nearly a year! We do this so indigenous plants survive, and that animals aren’t affected by these alien invaders either. They appear on land and in water – here’s 4 of the species to watch out for when you’re in the Lake District.

Stay with us at one of our four Lake District campsites. Dig out your tent or opt for one of our glamping offers.
